Identifying optimal substrate classes of membrane transporters. by Andreas Denger, Volkhard Helms

“…Furthermore, we implemented a pipeline for creating training datasets of transmembrane transporters that cover a wide range of organisms, including plants, bacteria, mammals, and single-cell eukaryotes. For a dataset containing 98.1% of transporters from S. cerevisiae, the pipeline automatically reduced the number of functional annotations from 287 to 11 GO terms that could be classified with a median pairwise F1 score of 0.87±0.16. …”

Coordinated One Health investigation and management of outbreaks in humans and animals caused by zoonotic avian influenza viruses by Theresa Enkirch, Andrea Gervelmeyer, Luisa Hallmaier‐Wacker, Angeliki Melidou, Katriina Willgert

“…Three scenarios are triggered by suspected outbreaks in animals, including kept animals of listed species, non‐listed species, companion animals and wild birds/mammals. The other two scenarios are initiated by a probable human case or detection of the virus in wastewater or environmental samples (e.g. surface water or other sources). …”

Understanding resource use and dietary niche partitioning in a high-altitude predator guild using seasonal sampling and DNA metabarcoding. by Charlotte E Hacker, Wei Cong, Yunchuan Dai, Jia Li, Ye Li, Diqiang Li, Rodney Jackson, Jan E Janecka, Yuguang Zhang

“…We identified 26 unique prey items, with blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur) and pika (Ochotona spp.) being most common. Small mammals had the highest frequency of occurrence, while domestic and wild ungulates contributed the most biomass. …”

Genomic and Computational Analysis of Novel SNPs in TNP1 Gene Promoter Region of Bos indicus Breeding Bulls by Kashif Hameed Anjum, Asif Nadeem, Maryam Javed, Hafiz Ishfaq Ahmad, Amjad Riaz, Wasim Shehzad, Jahanzaib Azhar, Muhammad Fahad Bhutta

“…One such gene belonging to the TNP family called TNP1 gene is abundantly expressed in the regulation of spermatogenesis, and its sequence is remarkably well conserved among mammals. Genomic analysis, by sequencing and computational approach, was used to identify the novel polymorphisms and to evaluate the molecular regulation of TNP1 gene expression in Sahiwal cattle breeding bulls. …”
